DAOSA Piccadilly Valley Blanc de Blancs 2015
Part of Sarah Ahmed article on Terre à Terre in Decanter Premium
“A rich, full-bodied sparkling Chardonnay, densely structured and layered, under-scored by tensile, grapefruit acidity. Flavours of dried peach, fig and torched nectarine skin, and a savoury depth of toasted hazelnut, marmite and ozone. Sourced exclusively from the Bizot vineyard, the base wine was barrel-fermented and aged for 23 months, undergoing full malolactic fermentation and lees-stirring. Disgorged August 2019, after 30 months in bottle on lees; dosage 7g/l. Uncommonly powerful fruit expression.” 95 points
